At Greystone Centennial Middle School we believe that the middle years is a time to exert extra effort to make school appealing by engaging students in learning and activities. We accomplish this by making connections.
Every student is part of an advisory group composed of students from all grades. Being a part of the same group throughout their time at Greystone helps students form strong bonds, develop leadership skills and build school spirit. The focus is on making meaningful contributions to the classroom, the school, and the community.
Unique Features of our School
- Highly collaborative teaching teams who remain with the same group of students for 2-3 years to establish strong supportive relationships that promote individualized, personalized learning for students. Teachers really get to know the unique learning needs of their students.
- Students are expected to think deeply about their learning and make connections to the real world outside of school.
- Students are meaningfully involved in their own assessment and assist in developing clear criteria for achieving excellence.
- Flexible teaching spaces enable staff to group students in ways that are most responsive to learning needs.
- Focus on preparing students for the 21st century by developing skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and perseverance.
